Organizers Release Details Of 2018 Tulsa Pop Culture Expo

Tickets are now available for the 2018 Tulsa Pop Culture Expo.

Tulsa Pop Kids says they like to create something larger than life for each of their events.  At this year’s Expo, a thirteen-foot replica of Iron Man’s Hulkbuster suit will be on display.

They say the Iron Man suit was chosen because of the character’s connection to Tulsa.

Dexter Nelson II, OKPOP’s Curator of Comic Books, says “Archie Goodwin, a Tulsan and graduate of Will Rogers High School, wrote and edited numerous titles for both Marvel and DC comics.  One of his earlier writing assignments for Marvel was to write the premiere issues of Iron Man’s own monthly comic.  Goodwin is credited with writing issues #1 to #28.  It was from this series that the Hulkbuster armor would first appear in issue #304.”
